Dr. Jason Galante, one of the three physicians comprising Essex Union Podiatry says, “At Essex Union Podiatry, we understand that the demands of sports, their associated training, and other high-impact activities can have an adverse effect on your feet, ankles, and corresponding parts. Our patients benefit from our team approach to care when it comes to sports-related injuries and conditions of the foot and ankle. We specialize in sports medicine for people of all ages and activity levels, creating a customized treatment following your diagnosis to get you back in the game as quickly as possible. In addition, we also help design a prevention plan to educate you on how to avoid future injury and manage your pain going forward so that you can keep moving no matter what. We offer the most comprehensive range of sports medicine podiatry services.”

The clinic has published foot maintenance tips in case of participation in sports and high-level activities. The center appeals to players to thoroughly wash and dry their feet at the end of each day. They encourage them to wear high-quality cotton socks so that the skin can breathe and moisture isn’t trapped. They also say that shoes should be durable, have the appropriate support, and protect the wearer’s feet properly.

A testimonial by Mike G. says about the center’s sports medicine facility, “I suffered a football injury during practice and I was so afraid I was going to miss the big game. Dr. Galante helped me get back on my feet just in time for the championship. He’s very professional and has a great personality!”

Another testimonial by B. L. Close talks about her experience with an injury on her ankle by saying, “I am currently a patient of Dr. Sarah E. Haller. Dr. H. operated on my right ankle for a fractured fibula & torn ligaments. I feel so fortunate to have found such a thorough, skilled/gifted physician to treat my ankle injury. I am very impressed w/Dr. Haller’s commitment to her patients & exceptional bedside manner. I was terrified by this sudden injury & clueless as to what to expect, but Dr. H’s ability/willingness to clarify the scope/course of treatment required calmed me as needed. Also, her ‘responsiveness’ to my issues has been far superior to my previous experiences with doctors.”
